False. Allosteric inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition that occurs when a molecule binds to a site on the enzyme other than the active site. This binding causes a conformational change in the enzyme that prevents it from functioning properly. Allosteric inhibitors can either increase or decrease the activity of enzymes by changing the conformation of the enzymes, whereas the active site inhibitors bind to the active site of the enzymes and physically block the substrate from binding. In contrast, allosteric inhibition can be reversible or irreversible depending on the nature of the bond formed between the enzyme and the inhibitor.
